Middle School

Informational booth regarding county of san diego department of parks and recreation; Waterfront Park

Booth with fun activists for people of all ages showing how to extract DNA from strawberries, scuba diving equipment used to collect tissue samples from marine species, along with other activities relating to marine science and underwater exploration

We will have a Heart Rate activity designed for all ages and CPR demonstration.

A hands-on robotics demonstration where children of all ages can operate and drive small robots while learning about STEM concepts.

Living Coast will provide a STEAM -focused activity and information on our school / camp / community programs. There will also be the opportunity for guests to learn about one of our animal ambassadors.

UCSD BMES will present a demonstration about the respiratory systems using an assembled model of the lungs. The model will demonstrate how the diaphragm works to breath in and out of the lungs. We will also have a poster to give students an opportunity to work through some bioengineering problems about the respiratory system (Ex: What device would you create to help someone with breathing problems? Someone with a collapsed lung? Someone with a diseased or failing lung?).

See germs glow on your hands and how to properly wash them clean! Rub a small amount of a fluorescent gel on your hands to simulate germs when seen under ultra-violet light. Then wash your hands and let the ultra-violet light reveal how well you did!

Bioengineering applications such as genetic engineering and organ modeling.

Play Math! is an interactive space for families to play with shapes, patterns, and puzzles. Participants can look for new ways to fit blocks into a hexagon, create a new object with SOMA blocks, or use a pattern machine to look for the longest path. Specific activities may rotate, but they all have one thing in common - they offer an opportunity to play math!

TaylorMade will offer a fun interactive putter demonstration and golf ball trajectory experiment.
